The EGR spacer provides a mounting place for the bracket for the throttle cable, TV cable on automatic trans cars and the cruse control cable.

Do the job right and fix the EGR.

Late Model Restoration has the Ford Racing M-12071-N302 kit with the EGR valve & sensor along with the ACT & ECT sensors for $45. See * * * N/A * * * 86-93 SENSOR KIT, 5.0L EFI, INCLUDES EGR VALVE & SENSOR, COOLANT TEMP SENSOR, & AIR CHARGE TEMP SENSOR MUSTANG for more details

The part number M12071N-302 has been replaced in 2008, and the new part M-12071-L302 is wayyy too expensive. Some other Mustang specality stores may still have it available.

go to the junk yard and grap one! its not to hard to get them.
put it on ur car, hook it and everything, start the car, pull the vacuum
hose off of it, plug the the lil vacuum line. using a hand vacuum pump, put it on the egr .pump it up , the car should die or stumble, if it does! the egr is working correctly
nothing to do
